It can be used as part of a country-wide campaign and aired on television, shown on videos in local video centers or bank branches, or used to train financial institution management and staff in places where these concepts are difficult and new.

Public Service Announcements
Research has shown that in order for new behaviors to be adopted, the information that helps consumers to learn must be repeated and experienced from several angles. A series of five generic public service announcements (PSAs) that reinforce the Rules of Thumb have been produced. These can be adapted and contextualized in different countries to be part of a larger transparency and financial education campaign.
Consumer Pricing Education Jingle
This is a catch jingle that can be used for a country-wide radio campaign or to liven up financial education sessions. This is available both in English and in Kinyarwanda.
